Intro:
C          Am     Em     C7       F          E7      Am 
When true lovers meet in Mayfair,     so the legends tell,
 C         Am    Em               C7     Dm7
Song birds sing, winter turns to spring.
 C     Am      Em        C7      F          E7        Am      Fm7
Every winding street in Mayfair     falls beneath the spell,
  C     Am         Em       C7  Dm7   C       Am       Dm    G7       C        
I know such enchantment can be,     cause it happened one evening to me.


      C       Am           Em      C7               F       E7          Am    Fm7
That certain night,   the night we met,   there was magic abroad in the air.
            C      Am    Em     C7   Dm7        C          Am      Dm   G7   C       Am   Dm  G7
There were angels dining at the Ritz,    and a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.


C        Am       Em      C7            F          E7         Am     Fm7
I may be right, I may be wrong, but I m perfectly willing to swear,
     C         Am         Em       C7  Dm7     C           Am     Dm   G7   C        
That when you turned and smiled at me,      a nightingale sang in Berkeley  Square.


Chorus:
    F                        B7                G#m7            A#      B7
The moon that lingered over London town, poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown,
    E         E7              B7               Bm7         A            Am    Dm7     G7
How could he know we two were so in  love, the whole darn world seemed upside down.


     C                   Em          C7           F       Fm       Am      Fm7  
The streets of town were paved with stars, it was such a romantic affair,
    C      Gm                  C7   Dm7     C         Am      Dm   G7    C        
And as we kissed and said goodnight,    a nightingale sang in Berkeley  Square.


Musical Interlude:       (Chords of above verse)

     F                          B7                G#m7          A#    B7
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue, to interrept our rendezvous,

     E      E7               B7            Bm7          A       Am     Dm7
I still remember how you smiled and said "Was that a dream, or was it true?"


     C                Em      C7            F    Fm     Am       Fm7  
Our homeward step was just as light, as the tap dancing feet of Astaire,
     C      Gm         C7   Dm7     C          Am      Dm   G7   C        
And like an echo, far away,      a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.


C  Gm         C7     Dm7     C    Am         Dm   G7      Gm
I  know cause I was there;  that night  in   Berkeley    Square.  (Slowing)
